Besides diseases of the eye, her laboratory targets other diseases/organs suffering from mutations in cilia proteins, including the ear and the kidney. She is active with a variety of national and international organizations promoting translational research including the Association for Research in Vision and Opthalmology and the American Society of Cell and Gene Therapy. She has received several awards, including the Paul Kayser International Award in Retina Research, the Alfred W. Bressler Prize in Vision Research and the William Osler Award for Translational Research.
